About Hours to Days Rules

Clicking the Hours to Days Rules tab displays the home page for that object.

If you have the permissions to do so, you can create hours to days rules that determine how many hours count as a day or a half day for the purpose of calculating how many days to include in billing or cost calculations when using daily bill rates and daily cost rates.

You can apply an hours to days rule to a project and an assignment using the Hours to Days lookup field on the project or assignment.

Where a hours to days rule is created for an assignment this takes precedence over rules set on a project. If no hours to days rule is set for an assignment or project, the default hours to days rule is used if one has been created. If no default hours to days rule exists, then if you enter hours greater than zero for a timecard day, this counts as one day.

Note
When you create an hours to days rule, existing timecards are unaffected until you update them. If timecards already exist for a project and or assignment when you create hours to days rules, the Total Days Worked field on those timecards is not updated until you edit and save them.

Each hours to days rule contains several hours and days fields. The days field specifies how many days to apply when the number of hours specified on the day of a timecard falls into the range specified in the corresponding hours field. For example:

Name of Rule Hour Threshold 1 Days Value 1 Hour Threshold 2 Days Value 2 Hour Threshold 3 Days Value 3 Hour Threshold 4 Days Value 4
Europe 0 0.0 1 0.5 5 1 12 1.5

Using this example:

Note
If you do not enter 0 for Hour Threshold 1 and 0.0 for Days Value 1, each day in a timecard that has zero hours logged against it might be included in the calculation of days. For instance, if Hour Threshold 1 is 1 and Days Value is 1, each day that has zero hours logged against it counts as one day.
Tip
If you are using negative timecard entries as a way of creating adjustments, you can also create hours to days rules to handle negative amounts.
